DELTA COUNTY FAIR HOSTS LSGTPA 2016 SEASON OPENER

The Lone Star Garden Tractor Pulling Association teams are preparing for the 2016 Season Opener event, scheduled for Saturday April 9th.  The first pull of the LSGTPA 2016 season will kickoff in conjunction with the Delta County Fair in Cooper, Texas.  Opening ceremonies are scheduled for 2pm, at the Delta County Pulling Track in Harmon Park.  The opening ceremonies will feature our National Anthem performance by Shawna Spangler.

Over thirty entries are expected for the event, with teams from throughout the state competing in two rounds of tractor pulling competition.  Competitors in ten classes, will hook and pull in two rounds of competition,  on the 200' track prepared by Rocky Young Construction. The total of the combined pulls for each competitor, will determine the winners of each class. 

From the entertaining Youth Class competitors, to the wild and exciting Super Rod tractors, the LSGTPA event will be fun for all !  Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the show, at the hill by the park !  Hearing protection is recommended for the little ones, as the show can get a little loud !  Come early and visit with the teams and drivers, and check out the machines.
